Carleton Landscaping builds native-plant gardens for homes, stratas and workplaces across Vancouver and the surrounding cities. We bring project experience to your vision — planning, materials, management and advice — so the planting you get actually belongs here. Pollinator gardens, rewilded corners, maintenance that never fights the site.

The index

Four services, one through-line: plants that belong in the Pacific Northwest, designed for the people and creatures who live with them.

Native plants first

What makes us different is what we leave out.

High-input ornamentals eat water, fertilizer and weekends. Native plants first — pollinator gardens, invasive-plant removal and habitat restoration — gives you a landscape that settles in, feeds the local food web and asks for less every year after the first.

Multidisciplinary team

Botany, design and dirt under the nails.

Our crew spans botany, landscape design and native-plant restoration. We also teach — through the Burnaby School District we work with fellow professionals and horticulture students, which keeps our practice honest and current.

The promise

“If you plant it, they will come.”

Plant the right things and the bees, birds and butterflies find you. Bring nature back home — that is the whole business plan, and it has worked on every site since 2017.

How we work

No mystery, no upsell theatre. Four steps, and you know where your project stands at each one.

  1. Consultation

    Email [email protected] and we walk the site with you before anything is drawn. You bring the vision; we bring the project experience — planning, materials, management.

  2. Design

    Ideas get fully expanded before they land. Function and form together, native plants first, and municipal permitting handled as part of the service.

  3. Build & plant

    Installation with the planting plan as the boss. Invasive species cleared, habitat features placed, every plant sourced and sited for where it will live.

  4. Care & monitor

    Seasonal maintenance visits, plant health care and monitoring. For stratas, a full annual program with organic horticulture methods.
